Mountain Biking Emerald Canyon (Road)

*****   Add a review
#441 of 1,004 mountain bike trails in California
#5,486 in the world

Starting from the top on Bommer Ridge (trail marker #4), after a mile on the descending ridge, you arrive on the canyon bottom (also where the singletrack Old Emerald Trail branches left). The next 1.5 miles of travel down-canyon is along a more moderate grade. At 4.2 miles the trail bends sharply downward to gate 13 at the bottom.
